Overview
Acne keloidalis nuchae (also known as "Acne keloidalis", "Dermatitis papillaris capillitii", "Folliculitis keloidalis", "Folliculitis keloidis nuchae", and "Nuchal keloid acne"[1]:526) is a destructive scarring folliculitis that occurs almost exclusively on the occipital scalp of people of African descent, primarily men.[2] This is mainly because men often cut their hair very low as opposed to women, allowing the hair to prick the occipital scalp and upset it.
